Produktbeschreibung

From societies living together yet drowning in hatred and despair emerge two souls who see the truth in the wisdom of their prophets: "Feed the hungry and greet with words of peace those you know and those you do not know" and "the work of righteousness shall be peace". Basman Derawi (Gaza/Egypt) and Michal Rubin (Israel/US) write for a true "Never again" "Not in my name", for a child not to have "Genocide" in his/her dictionary, for living colonization free, occupation free, for no more selective humanity, for justice which is the only road to real peace. This is a book of searching and finding, through fear and pain, their shared humanity, love of the land, and its people, and decide, in their unique way through poetry, to co-create the yet unfertilized seed of a new reality. As Rubin writes: When I hear you say "I am from Gaza" I think I must paint the screams I don't hear and that there isn't enough love nor enough red paint and what color to use for the silence between cries And Derawi responds: When I hear you say, "I am from Israel" and you unzip your chest, handing me your heart. Same hearts, same humanity. I breathe again, I almost cry. The poems in this collection are a precious example of a careful and thoughtful paradigm shift, creating a path to a world of justice, trust, caring, love, and safety between "enemies".
